Haywards Heath

The Brief

BAM Construction secured a £35 million station upgrade project in West Sussex. This scheme would create a mix of commercial and retail space. The site is located on a former brownfield site surrounding the railway station.

It would comprise of a Waitrose supermarket, fully refurbished railway station and a new multi storey car park. The largest aspect of which, is the two-storey Waitrose megastore. The lower level being a 2,300m² superstore and the upper level accommodating storage facilities and car park.

Our Approach

 
  • The structure required an elliptical curved member which would dictate the shape of the building. The member would curve to mimic the curvature of the road whilst offering an aesthetically bold shape.
  • This waitrose building required considered procurement practices for these materials to ensure high quality of this bespoke member. Through close-inspection and good erection practices, we could guarantee the desired visual aesthetic.
  • Careful planning and strategic execution were pivotal to erect both safely and efficiently. Due to the roof structure having several diagonal slopes. Coupled with the fact that erection of the structure could not take place on the buildings footprint.
